County HR delays HRIS go-live to July 27; benefits RFP underway
Summary
Teton County Human Resources reported July 7 that the HRIS implementation go-live date has shifted to July 27 to allow additional preparation, and the county has launched an RFP for medical and supplemental benefits renewal work as part of annual insurance procurement.
Justin Kaiser, Teton County HR director, told commissioners on July 7 the county's Human Resources Information System (HRIS) implementation has been pushed to allow more preparation time and that benefits procurement is underway.
Kaiser said the team "are 3 weeks out from our go live date" and that staff had moved the implementation from an earlier June date to "July 27" to avoid hiccups during transition. He said employees can expect more training and communications in the coming weeks and that supervisors will be given resources to prepare for the first payroll under the new system.
Kaiser also said the county asked benefits consultant Brown & Brown to run an RFP for medical, life and disability coverage. He noted an unusual provider-network change between Cigna and Star Valley Health, and that the county's carrier has a plan in place to route affected claims through an alternate network so members should not see major service disruptions.
Kaiser said HR is finalizing the county general services director hire and expects an offer to be completed within days. He also reported ongoing recruitment activity with roughly 14 open positions in the applicant tracking system at the time of the meeting.
